Description

This fish is called melva in Spain. It closely resembles small tuna or large mackerel. Of course, you can use any other fish in this recipe, such as mackerel, bonito tuna, or other similar varieties. The weight of the fish in the photo is 1 kg.

Ingredients

Tuna - 1 piece
Spanish onions - 1 piece
Orange Bell Peppers - ½ piece
Olive Oil - 5 tablespoons
Bay leaf - 2 pieces
Green peppercorns - ½ teaspoon
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place a pot of water on the stove — this is where you will boil the tuna. Add salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.

Step 2

Cut the fish into pieces.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and half of the large bell pepper.

Step 4

Boil the fish for about 12 minutes. It is very important not to overcook it. Place the cooked pieces on a plate and let them cool. Remove the skin and bones. This is easy — the meat separates easily from the backbone, and there are almost no ribs.
